LAMBIC MEAD!

Say what?

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Say what?

Kind of an experiment. I know that sour meads have been done; but judging by your response and my research... not very often. I have a Post on Gotmead. Here in the Mead subforum, and a post on my blog. Pick your poison.

Its an ~8% hydromel recipe using orange blossom honey and pitched WYeast Lambic Blend.

My 8 month old low gravity (1.047) Oud Bruin. Pitched US-05 and WLP665 in primary. Added Dregs from Crooked Stave Surett, Hop Savant, and St. Bretta to secondary. Really looking forward to this one.

That looks like snow coating after a blizzard

Creepiest pellicle ever... Death staring right back at you...

 

[Rys06Tbss]

What's funny is this is the first beer made under my brewery name.

 

[Zippox]

I see a skull.

Never mind the dirty bung hole.

Are you the phantom?

 

[Rys06Tbss]

I honestly thought it looked like an alien skull. But yes phantom looks about right too

I don't know...can't be TOO scary when ya got a dirty bunghole!

Right before bottling

gorgeous!

i'll repeat my on-going request for a high-res version. i use the beautiful pellicle shots as my desktop wallpaper. totally grosses out the workmates and keeps them from bugging me too much

Wow! That's a seriously funky looking pellicle. Kinda looks like you may have needed an ice pick to punch through it for racking.

I dont have anything to take a high resolution picture with besides my phone. Not a photo geek

 

[sweetcell]

perfectly understandable. is what you posted above the original image, or did you have to resize it? by "high res" i don't mean a bzillion megapixels, just larger than what the forum allows us to post.

I usually post from my phone and the app just took the pic as usual without having me to edit it at all.

Anyone coming to nhc? I can bring a few sours down. I will have two on tap at bruclear, but if any fellow sour brewers are coming, I am up for a bottle trade.

Yes I know it is off-topic, but sour.......

Is bruclear your club name? If so - pouring at club night? Hoping to see (drink...) some sours that evening.

I'm bringing a blackberry berliner weiss with me to pour at club night. Might have to see what else is hanging around in my cellar as well, for random sharing.

Yea, we are pouring at the hospitality suite at 2 on Thursday and will have a ecy20 ale. My apricot sour will be tapped at club night.

Is that pellicle pink or is that a trick of light?

au naturel

i recently added dregs of Hanssens lambic w/ black currants and the pellicle instantly took on that color

 

[Rivenin]

My first Brett Pellicle! - the thick stuff was just apparently super proteins that stuck together... first beer that's ever done that... was like that the day after pitching and they will not drop.
But this was brewed back on may 6th. So i'll give it until at least the end of the year and bottle it up... i've heard with american farmhouse (WLP670) to bottle after 3 months, so i'll give it a titch longer.

So it's starting to "ice" over now. Man once this sets in it goes fast. It's already starting to get sour to which is great. I'm sure this was an alien skull now. If you look close, you can almost see the face still. I really hope that white isn't mold.
